Transmission completely failed and had to be risky rebuilt. I was just driving down the highway and the transmission went into limp mode and I came to a fast slow down as it dropped the gearing. Also have noticed a huge issue with electronics putting me into a limp mode with wipers on headlights wont shut off, lose dash lights and speedometer with no blinkers or hazard lights. This left me in a very unsafe place as I had no way to tell other drivers where I was going or see how fast im going. Could have caused a huge accident 😕. Please look into this as there are many issues of this happening.

What owners say
When I turn on my wipers the lights on the dashboard either go .com or completely off. This happen every time I turn on the wipers.
In may 2018, my van lost all power while driving on the freeway. I was accelerating, and had complete loss of vehicle power but maintained electrical (lights/radio). My car was towed and I had a diagnostic performed. I had the total integrated power module replaced (tipm). Recently I have experienced intermittent issues such as windshield wipers acting uncontrollable, radio not functioning at period of times. Just last night (november 2019) my car lost all power again while driving and I ended up on the side of the freeway yet again. The same thing happened, the accelerator was pressed as I was driving on the freeway and the RPM just dropped straight to 0. I soon lost my power steering but was still able to get the car to the side of the road. I still had light/radio function. The car would not restart. I had it towed and it is my tipm yet again.
This car is a melon. It is less than 4 years old and in the past six months I have had two major issues. The transmission died and there is a recall on other chrysler town and country's for this same problem but not my car. Now the electrical control unit that controls all the actions of the vehicle (wipers, turn signals, etc) has died and has to be replaced.
The lane detection system has corroded and no longer functions. I turned the system off but now a electrical short is being caused by the problem. This short causes the wipers to engage, the warning lights (multiple) to go off on the dash, and the speedometer no longer functions. The car has fewer than 70,000 miles.
The van started having electrical issues while driving. All electrical items would turn off, such as A/C, dash lights, windows would not work, radio, but windshield wipers turn on. May stop independently or after you turn van off and back on. Once happened while I was driving, all the same symptoms I listed. Lasted about 5 minutes then stopped. Had the tipm changed by the dealer, but the problem happened after it was changed.
